    Loft can be tricky. Please share a link to your document and enable public copies so we can take a closer look.

    Most likely the profiles are not connected to the path, or the profile connections are not matching properly.
    Usually you would need a few guide curves along with the path. Guide curves work well when going from vertex of profile A to vertex of profile B.

    Have you tried using the Profile Generator feature? (you'll need to add it - click Add Custom Features, search for it and add it)

    I've found it works better if I don't use the origin as one of the vertices.

    Once you generate one profile (root of the aerofoil), create a new plane generate the aerofoil tip profile - you should be able to loft between them

    In the example here I used Sketch 1 to define the vertices
